Level 16 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

From under the gun, Jason Mercier raised 20,000 and was only called by Erik Seidel in the big blind.

The flop was {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and both players checked. The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and Seidel led for 25,000. Mercier called to see the {2-Clubs} hit the river. Seidel bet 80,000 and Mercier immediately made the call.

Seidel had a straight with {4-}{x-} but Mercier tabled {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for the better end of it to scoop the pot.
